Oklahoma Farm Bureau presented six Oklahoma legislators with the organization’s Champion Award during OKFB’s annual leadership conference Tuesday, Feb. 18, for their commitment to agriculture and Oklahoma’s rural communities during the 2024 legislative session.
OKFB’s Champion Award recognizes legislators who served as exemplary advocates for Oklahoma agriculture, going above and beyond for the state’s farmers and ranchers during Oklahoma’s 2024 legislative session.
OKFB’s 2024 Champion Award winners included Speaker of the House Rep. Kyle Hilbert, Bristow; Rep. David Hardin, Stilwell; Rep. John Pfeiffer, Orlando; President Pro Tempore of the Senate Sen. Lonnie Paxton, Tuttle; Sen. Brent Howard, Altus; and Sen. Adam Pugh, Edmond.
“We are proud to recognize the hard work these six legislators invested during the 2024 legislative session to ensure the voices of Oklahoma agriculturalists and our rural residents were represented at the state Capitol,” said OKFB President Rodd Moesel. “Each of our Champion Award winners went the extra mile to ensure that our family farmers and ranchers can continue to feed our world while keep rural Oklahoma a vibrant place to live.”
Each legislator received a customized belt buckle to commemorate their commitment to agricultural policy and representing family farmers and ranchers. The awards were presented during the legislative dinner at OKFB’s leadership conference in Oklahoma City.
